This is one of my favorite locations for TJ Maxx home goods…read more It's got a lot of variety, it's well organized and has a nice flow to it. It tends to be pretty busy on the weekends though, so consider that. Additionally, everytime I am here, I find myself waiting in line to check out for quite awhile, they usually seem pretty under staffed in that area. A clean store, the employees are helpful and it is easy to find everything as well. The prices are good, nothing too special or incredible.. but it does get the job done. If you are looking for any sort of home good item.. this is your spot!

I do find good stationary and other little decor things here. Prices are usually fair and they some clearance aisles as well. Not much staff interaction besides checking out. We went around dinner time and it was pretty chill, no line when we went to check out (which is rare). Overall fun to browse around.

The class pace is great for beginners and advanced chefs, and they have a great selection of classes. Note that they have you in groups of 6 - we ended up making new lifelong friends. Overall great learning and experience! They ask for feedback at the end of class and you also get a discount for the shop. I have also purchased croissant and danishes from the storefront and they're top tier.

I needed more time in this place, but since it was my first time, I managed to park in a spot that…read morewas going to be needed for valet service soon so I had to move quickly. I was greeted when I walked in and several staff members answered my question about the parking. Luckily I had been on the easy to navigate website beforehand, so I knew what I was after: knife storage and an apron. I located those and then allowed myself a little browsing. I think the sunny feeling was only partly sunshine through the windows; the lighting is very nice, and soon someone asked if I needed help finding anything. I also noticed the large cooking classroom. I got a croissant for the road in addition to my small purchase. I think this is my new favorite croissant in the Twin Cities! Up until now it had been Rose Bakery.

The lady who was helping us said she talked to the District Manager who was working in the store and we could get a 20% discount as it did not have a box etc. which we felt was a good deal on a $220.00 Kettle! After we got home, I looked at the item page for car instructions, and it said right under use and care: *For use on gas cooktops only. So, I Then called the store and spoke with the DM who insisted the company made no such gas only product and that if I was not happy to bring it back for a refund. Today I walked in the Store, and the DM was working and was so Rude and Unprofessional that they have lost my business. And people wonder why Ecommerce is so popular!

We purchased a demo kettle that came without a box or instructions and were told it was non-refundable. When we got home, we found out that this kettle was for a gas stove only, which we don't have. We were looking on the WS website and it was the first thing mentioned about this item. We called and were told we must be mistaken. Went in today to return the item and was treated very rudely by the manager after being told we were wrong to begin with. Know Thy Product, WS. This was a $200 kettle. Staff - 5 stars. Manager - 1 star. We won't be going back and I guess Amazon now has more of our business.

How serendipitous that this location had opened just a couple of weeks before my first trip to the town of Excelsior! Luckily, the family members who had accompanied me were patient enough to wait while I examined the goodies in this bright, clean space. While the store is relatively small, it is full of carefully-selected items that are sure to delight, from the table of lovely ceramics to the rack of fun aprons to the case of drool-worthy knives to the shelves of gizmos that you didn't know you needed. Excelsior is more than decor, antiques, and fashion, and this store is a great reason to male a trip.

I had a specific pan style in mind that I was not able to find online from Nordic Ware at the time of shopping and was actually able to purchase it at the outlet! If you don't mind looking through inventory while shopping there is a fair amount that are a good price. Even the pans that had deformities were in pretty solid condition. The staff was helpful and provided information regarding best type of care of the pans and how to cook with their cookware. I love that Nordic Ware is an American made brand that makes high quality bakeware. If I am in the area and in need of cook ware I would definitely come again.

If you love baking with Bundt pans like I do, this is absolutely a dream destination. It's a small…read moreshop with a LOT of awesome stuff. I visited in mid-November, so they had autumn and Halloween things on mark-down and quite a few new winter pieces out. The folks who work here are the nicest people and they actually wanted to help me save money---how awesome is that?! I'd found a few pieces I wanted, and one of the ladies who worked there said, "I think we have those in the back," and took me to where they have the yellow tag seconds and clearance items. Here's a helpful hint for if you shop in this area: the uglier pans are apparently the ones for industrial use, meaning they are not pretty on the outside but the interior is triple-coated and will last a lot longer because they are designed for heavy use. Now, with all the goods in this section, you have to look carefully for scratches and dings, but I found things in good condition that were about $20 less than their 'pretty' counterparts across the room. The factory store doesn't sell goods online. They are all about the treasure hunt mentality. I certainly found some treasures!
